"If I do something that depresses, it's not because I'm depressed, but because political life and his..." — Anselm Kiefer

Not content, but the road the artist takes, is the interesting part.

Because of my Calvinistic upbringing, I was trained to think that what you do has to have a purpose.

When I see a new artist I give myself a lot of time to reflect and decide whether it's art or not.

Art is difficult. It's not entertainment.
